Rating
A-E
Existing control measures taken
against the risk
What further control measures
are required when and by whom
• People use the corridors to
get to their art lessons so
the person taking the photo
and modelling the photo
would be in the way and
the photo could be
interrupted by students or
even passing teachers
• The stairs in the art block
could be a hazard for
someone if they are not
concentrating and they
could fall down them
• While taking photos of the
field it could start to rain
and cause slippery
conditions

College staff have told students to
walk on the left to avoid stopping and
moving out the way of other people
There are railings along the stairs
None
The photographer and model
could go out at certain times such
as during a lesson when mostly
everyone is not walking about the
art corridors
Warn the model about where he
is standing and be mindful of your
own surroundings
Before starting to photograph
some students could check the
weather and find out when it
would be best to go out
